WHAT!?!?!? Letting "real life" take precedence over cooking?? Da noive!
:lol:
Obviously, you know you should buy it as close as possible to mealtime. As for time, how many hours are you thinking about? Just a couple should not be a problem. (The sticklers among us -- Phil, are you there? -- might scream, but I don't worry too much.)
Keep it in the packaging, as that will keep in some of the heat. Some stores put them into foil-lined bags; others into plastic clam-shell containers.* The more you can wrap it, the more you'll save the heat.
* How do I know? :blush: I'm guilty of the same behavior!
